Blimey!
Probably the most interesting thread on the single seater forum!
I think there is something wrong with any formula when you really have to place a driver in a certain team to be sure of winning a championship. F3's not the only one is it?
Obviously a good team will naturally attract the best funded drivers and often the fastest drivers but it can't be right for them to be allowed to run three times or even twice the number of cars as any other team (in any one class that is) because that does detract from the "sporting" nature of the challenge.
But that's not a sensible business plan I suppose.....
